Although Zdenek - by your own logic, now that you've questioned my questions to those people, are you defending them by asserting that my questions are invalid?

All I can do is look at what you are doing and comment on it, and what I see is you asking a lot of questions and not taking many stances. You say that these questions will help you form your opinions, but I am not going to wait to see if that happens before commenting.
You're right about questions two and three, I meant to comment on them seperately. In question two you are trying to direct greenknight's attention back onto me without saying that you think I'm scummy or that the attention is warranted, and in question three you're trying to get Riggs to give a stronger case on Pine, again without taking a since yourself.
So, you were attacking people by asking them questions? If that's not the case, then your question makes no sense.
I like Shadoweh's points against Pine.

You highlighted that you are voting Norman for using think and might in regards to someone maybe being a scumbag. Do you find that scum are more likely to use words which make one seem unsure or town?
How often do you tend to find scum by word choice?
What do you think of RT's response to Feysal saying that scum would be insane not to claim the opposite alignment:
"This 100%. A RC kind of defeats the purpose of itself in some aspects. But we also don't know if there's an even number of LE & CE and CG & LG. Or if the total LE + CG = LG + CE. So I suppose some information could certainly be ascertained."

Call it a policy lynch if you want, but his large number of posts seems scummy to me as it's hindering scumhunting.

To keep it brief, the amount of posts you have is not as important as when you have them. Dropping off in activity when you're under suspicion is scummy, but I've come to the conclusion that Lemon isn't really posting less so much as other people are posting way too much. I still want him to expand his suspicions, the attacks on Norman are too easy and it seems like he forgot he thought Fox was scum.
Zdenek wrote:LMP, players should not have to delay voting, so that their vote doesn't appear immediately following a vote count, to avoid being called scummy. You think Norman's scummy for getting on the next biggest wagon, okay, but the idea that it's worse because it came right after a vote count is one that I have a problem with.
Zdenek wrote:I'd like you to explain the rationale behind your lynching strategy because in my opinion it was an anti-town strategy. What you were suggesting we do was possibly the worst thing that town could have done in this setup. Being wrong isn't a scum tell, but talking for the sake of talking and suggesting a strategy for town to play by without thinking about it's consequences are, so I'm curious how you came up with your strategy.

What's the problem if he is? Your question implies that Foxace36 focusing his questions at one player is somehow bad.
This is a fantastic question.

I catch scum on word choice all the time. By far one of my top scum tells is finding scum that appear to be crafting their thoughts to conform/appease the town. Also fence-sitting/wishy-washy language is a big red flag for me. For a great example of these tells, see me catch CoachTravis scum on day 1 in Ghostbusters Mafia, in large part due to the way he used language in that game (see my ISO 1 where I show his backtracking from the use of the word "constant" was scummy and his fence-sitting/wishy-washy language toward Scott Brosius). I'm sure there are plenty of other examples of this in my wiki.
As for the quote, I'm not sure I follow the argument of whether or not LE + CG = LG + CE, since the game seemed intentionally designed to have PRECISELY that balance. I'm not sure what "some" information he suggests could be ascertained, but I don't think it outweighs the serious dangers that Feysal correctly identified.

This should convince the doubters.

Just so I have you correctly, when he sees his own wagon building, as displayed in a vote count, he immediately hops his vote to the only other viable wagon, and you think suspecting him for that is DISTASTEFUL!? As I see it, that is one of the best arguments for Norman-scum.

Why? This only worked with the mass alignment claim and it's already been proven to be a bad idea.

But Zdenek finds my reasons "distasteful". My mind = blown.
Also not a fan of MOI's "scum wouldn't act this way" argument for Norman. No idea why "aggressive" is a town tell. Scum can easily be aggressive, especially in multiball. And stupidity as a town tell is also so full of fail it's not funny. Do you want a list of shotty-scum games that he got busted for being stupid? Cause I can definitely provide that. Start with the ghostbusters game linked above. So stupid != town and aggressive != town.

Norman is not a village idiot, he's a townie.grade-A VI moron.Nope.Regardless of how Town he is per my other head he’s going to beactively helping the scum with his ‘antics’ until he’s dead.Well I don't think so.Mark my words …he’ll never be scum-killed.So if you want this string ofstupidityI wouldn't call it stupidity, I'd call it being retarded and discreet.to continue please feel free to not vote him.
For the record – Norman indicates he thinks scum have daytalk.Yes I do, does anyone else?
Other head – go refresh yourself on Clash of Kings and the process by which competent Town are killed leaving VIs in endgame to screw up what should have been an easy Town VictoryLike I said I'm NOT a VI, I'm a regular townie... God I hate when people use that fucking description. That’s a roadmap to what leaving Norman alive gets you.How would you know? I had a game where I was left alive with a few other townies and we killed all the scumbags.
Greenknight is tingling my scum-dar. He’s keeping a generally low profile, talking around any significant thread activities, and is taking the position re: Norman I expect from scum – one that allows them to lynch him later on when mislynches are running low.That's not going to happen. I think I can do things my own way.
Any of trekker, Haze and Skenvoy are still great votes. Mod has acknowledged that everyone received new Role PMs so there is no reason why anyone can say “Oh hai, I didn’t know this thread was open”.
Lord Mhork– so basically Post 428 you were fluffing to look good when you said “There is scum there” since you actually didn’t have any suspects. Also – why didn’t you find the flurry on Lemon to be “odd” since it can't be considered any more 'well grounded'?
What have I learned from Norman?That he’s a Chesskid / Shotty / Furc level VI.I don't know those people and I'm not a VI. You really haven't learned anything from me have you? Sure I may have screwed up this time but there were other times where I succeeded.There is no grand plan coming together. His tactics are pointless.Do yourself a favour and look at my goddamn posts. I hate this head really much.Go through his ISO and count up the following –
Number of players he accuses of being scum – Wager it is approximately 60% of the playerlist.
Number of actual commitments to positions on players being scum – You will find Zero.Scumbags come in many different forms, shapes, and languages. And with that statement I base off having probably atleast one scumbag on the list. Your logic actually makes no sense at all.His reads list at Post 443 doesn’t commit to actual scum-reads on anyone. FOSes and “Might be scum’ aren’t actual positions.Maybe but it's the first day, how would I know? How would anyone know for sure?
Also Lord M – please link me to any completed game you have where scum self-votedI self-voted myself because frst I thought my situation was hopeless. It might still be but I wouldn't honestly know. The second reason behind is that I was trying to influence other people without legitimate reason to vote me. Lemons had acted like this, so had briz. The whole plan was to get scum on the wagon and try to make them look town but when everyone had voted for me I would say what my plans were at the end of the votes. As I realized the reverse psychological effect probably isn't going to work that great because there's lots of people..
Zdenek gets scum-points for his stance on Norman. Like Greenknight it looks like scum keeping his position open. The fact that they were voting each other (or people claim they were – I didn’t bother re-reading) in the old thread but have a 180 change in this one is worth noting.
@Tammy– regardless of you stubbornness to not want to vote – who are you biggest three suspects at this stage

Oh, so your argument is that despite being at the top of the list ML was lurking out pressue. Let’s take a spin through the facts, shall we?
Day 1 opens March 18 at 9:51pm (note all times are my personal site time of EDT). Game rules say that prods are given every 48 hours.
You make your “ML is lurking post” on March 20 at 10:40am.
Lemon’s prior post was at March 19 at 6:09pm.
So you were pushing ML as lurking out pressure 16 hours after his last post and 36 hours after the game actually started. So before he could be even due a Prod.
No. Just no. ThespamIt's spam but it's spam that I had to use for the effect.generated in the thread by Norman does mean someone not posting for 16 hours is lurking out pressure. At the point you made your accusations Lemon would not have been due a prod if he had not posted since the game started.
Your “he was lurking out pressure based on when he posted” holds ZERO water. You are scum who got caught with her hand in the cookie jar making a scummy argument and is doing everything you can to extricate yourself.

Die, scum, die!!!
